Prepare your pizza dough ahead of time. Our guide to making the perfect Classic Pizza Dough covers everything you need to know.

Start by making your crab seasoning. In a bowl, mix together all the crab seasoning ingredients. Note that this recipe makes extra – store in an airtight container.

Now, make the béchamel pizza sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat on a hob (stovetop). Add the flour and garlic, and stir for about 1 minute or until bubbling. Slowly whisk in the milk until well combined and glossy. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the cream cheese, stirring until well combined. Add the crab seasoning, dried parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Fire up your Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 500˚C (950˚F) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your oven quickly and easily using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer.

Using a small amount of flour, dust your Ooni pizza peel. Stretch the pizza dough ball out to 12”/16” and lay it out on your pizza peel. Using a spoon, spread the béchamel pizza sauce over the base. Top with the mozzarella and cheddar, then add the crab meat.

Slide the pizza off the peel and into your Ooni pizza oven, making sure to rotate the pizza regularly.

Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with extra crab seasoning and dried parsley. Serve hot!
